Stations are counted, kilns are blocked
Eight torch stations means eight makers. A casting kiln or an annealing oven is booked for the entire cycle — cool-down included — so nobody schedules a class that opens it early.
Bench and torch stations counted per maker, kilns booked for the whole cycle, and one schedule for classes, private commissions and studio hire. No booking fees and no commission.
No card needed. Nothing to install.
How it works
Three steps. No onboarding call, no migration project, nothing to install.
How many benches and torch stations you have, your kiln cycles, which classes you run, and the deposit you take. That is the entire setup.
About 20 minutesPaste it into your Instagram bio, your website, or a reply. It shows live availability, takes the deposit, and confirms the booking without you.
One link, everywhereReminders go out on their own, the register is on your phone, and the money lands in your Stripe account. Nobody messages you to ask what time it starts.
Every week afterEverything you need, nothing you do not
Eight torch stations means eight makers. A casting kiln or an annealing oven is booked for the entire cycle — cool-down included — so nobody schedules a class that opens it early.
Set a travel area with a radius and distance-based fees. Customers give their address before they pick a time, so nobody chooses a slot you were never going to reach. Travel time counts against your day.
Payments go straight to your Stripe account. No booking fees, no commission, no cut. A flat monthly price and nothing else.
Take a deposit or the full amount. Write your own refund ladder — full refund with two days notice, studio credit inside a day, whatever you actually run. Refunds follow it automatically.
Automatic email and text reminders before every booking. Customers can cancel or move their own booking from the link, without messaging you.
Two-way Google Calendar sync per instructor. A dentist appointment in your own calendar blocks that slot automatically, and classes appear where you already look.
Publish a six-week course and people enrol once, for the whole run. A course is only sold while every week of it has room, so nobody pays for six weeks and finds week four was full.
Mark a whole group present or absent in one tap, from the phone in your pocket. Course rosters show who has missed which week, so you know who is falling behind before they quietly stop coming.
How it runs
Most booking software was built for hair salons, gyms and massage therapists. It treats a business as a list of appointments. Stations are counted, kilns are blocked.

Your booking page
A booking page you can put in your Instagram bio, showing live availability. Customers book, pay a deposit and get a confirmation without you touching anything.
They can move or cancel their own booking from the link in that email, under the terms you set.

Off-site work
Set the area you will travel to with a torch kit and what you charge by distance. Customers enter the address before they pick a time, so a job you were never going to reach cannot be booked.
Travel and pack-down time come out of your day, so nothing gets sold into the hour you are still loading the van.
Works with your stack
Your payments, your calendar and your inbox stay exactly where they are. BookAIHub plugs into them rather than replacing them.
